If Evans and the 2 CBs are gone Donald is the guy I think we should go with. He is a disrupter and LeBeau loves those types of players. I remember when Kiesel was younger and LeBeau had him lining up anywhere in the front 7. You never knew where he was coming from or if he was dropping back. Contrary to the opinion of some on this board LeBeau is very inventive when he gets the players.

We play nickel more than half of the time. I also honestly believe we could find a place in the base defense, even if it is as a run stuffing ILB.

His size makes him less likely for the Steelers as he doesn't really fit the 3-4. But, he would help us beat the types of teams we have trouble with. He would be that pass rushing interior force against the multi-receiver sets of teams like the Broncos, Saints, Packers, and Pats. His athleticism would also be great for a zone blitz.

Even if Bill Belichick was getting an atomic wedgie, his face would look exactly the same.

I believe he is 6'1 285. Isn't a DE in a 3-4 about 6'3 and 275? He can lose 10 pds and 2-3 inches isn't something to get to worried about??

Ideally in this scheme the DEs have more length that Donald....like 6-4 to 6-6 and 280-300 pounds. He could still be effective, much in the same way it doesnt make much sense for James Harrison to be 34 OLB, but he excelled at it

I really like the idea of Barr at 15, more so than Dennard but if both CBs are gone id imagine barr can slip a bit

Whenever I want to like Barr I get Bruce Davis nightmares. Barr seems like a Jarvis Jones clone. He will be too weak or can't learn the defense to contribute in year 1 and we have to hope and wait again.

Playing Fantasy Football does not qualify you to be the in the front office or on the coaching staff of the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are professionals and you are not!

Hes taller, longer, faster, more agile, and more explosive than Jarvis. Hes a guy you turn into a sack artist, Jarvis can be a guy you ask to do it all as an OLB but is never going to dazzle you with 15 sacks a season. Barr adds length and explosiveness to the defense, someone who can bend the corner while jarvis sets the edge. hes more like Aldon Smith, Barkevious Mingo than he is Bruce Davis. Davis and Barr are nothing alike besides being light skinned black guys that played for UCLA

He may just be a situational pass rusher as a rookie and take time, funny thing is every rookie we draft is going to take time and you can draft with the future in mind, especially if Worilds is what i think he is....a painfully average player the steelers are overpaying to rent for a season
